Oh, one other thing: in their never-ending quest for offense, many "believers" seem to ignore the meaning of plainly written sentences. For example:

"When you frame the question [by comparing the belief in Yaweh with Poseidon or the Flying Spaghetti Monster] religious belief--at least the literal, fundamentalist kind--is pretty ridiculous."

Sorry, but you'll have to decide if comparisons with FSM are disrespectful ridicule or not. Again, we have respectful debates about all sorts of topics here. It's only the religious folk who claim the right to get offended when--in talking about religious matters--their interlocutors don't maintain the reverent tones you'd expect from a 14th century curate.[/quote]

Translation: "You can tell me that FSM is insulting, but I'm going to ignore it because I have a monopoly in determining what constitutes 'respectful' conversation. Your feelings are irrelevant. I also tell small children they are short, fat, and ugly, because it's my prerogative to do so, and their feelings are irrelevant too."

Uh, OK. Now please explain why any of us would want to spend more than two seconds with you.[/quote]
